PITHONELLA [[Lorenz, 1902]], p.46.  Emendations: [[Bignot and Lezaud, 1964]], p.140; [[Villain, 1977]], p.144; [[Masters and Scott, 1978]], p.215.  Calcareous dinoflagellate genus.  Taxonomic junior synonyms: [[Pirumella]], by implication in [[Keupp, 1981|Keupp (1981]], p.44), who considered the "type species" of [[Pirumella]], [[Pirumella edithvincentiae]], to be a taxonomic junior synonym of [[Pithonella thayeri|Pithonella]] (now [[Pirumella]]) [[Pithonella thayeri|thayeri]] - however, [[Lentin and Williams, 1993|Lentin and Williams (1993]], p.517) retained [[Pirumella]]; [[Palinosphaera]], by implication in [[Zügel, 1994|Zügel (1994]], p.17), who transferred the type of that genus to Pithonella - see under [[Palinosphaera]] for a full discussion.  Keupp in [[Keupp and Mutterlose, 1984|Keupp and Mutterlose (1984]]) included in Pithonella forms of unknown affinity only; forms which are demonstrably dinoflagellates were included in [[Obliquipithonella]] and [[Orthopithonella]].  However, [[Willems, 1995a|Willems (1995a]], p.61) considered Pithonella to represent calcareous dinoflagellate cysts.  Type: not designated; "type species" - [[Pithonella ovalis]].
